[Catalyst] Re: How to get uri_for something with a fragment?

[will trillich]

What would be helpful is either

"There's no mechanism within the Catalyst toolkit to generate urls with
anchors, stick to Perl string concatenation"

or

"You can use this handy feature XYZ of the Catalyst toolkit to generate url
strings with anchors"

not

"Browsers handle the anchors so don't try to generate anchors in your server
code."
